First Place Bank's promotion to give away first Chevrolet Cruze vehicles, powered by Flint built engine

GENESEE COUNTY, Michigan -- First Place Bank is giving you the chance to own one of the first Chevrolet Cruzes, powered by a Flint built engine, through its Race to First Place Bank Sweepstakes.

The Warren, Ohio-based bank with more than a half dozen locations in Genesee County, will buy some of the first Cruze vehicles built at General Motors' Lordstown, Ohio, plant. The compact vehicle includes a 1.4-liter engine that will be made at GM Flint Engine South.

The Cruze will go on sale in early 2010 in the U.S. and three people in its Michigan region have a chance to win the Cruze, which will be given away in May. The promotion continues through April 30, 2010.

The bank will select one qualifier each month from each of its three regions (Michigan branches are one region) and that person will receive a key. Eight qualifiers in each region will get a chance to open the cars in May, three of which will open the door.

Each month, the bank's regions also will give away $100 gas cards.

You must be 18 or older to enter and a resident of Michigan or Ohio. To enter go to www.Race2FirstPlaceBank.com or pick up an entry form at a branch.
